摘要：

Objective. To ascertain the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Tucuman, Argentina. Methods. The study was conducted between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 1999, in Tucuman province in northwest Argentina. Outpatient and hospitalization medical records for all patients with RA aged greater than or equal to 16 years were reviewed. Diagnosis was by 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for RA and the population data were based on the 1991 national census. Prevalence rates, with 95% CL were calculated using the number of San Miguel de Tucuman residents who fulfilled the 1987 ACR criteria for RA as numerator, and the city population aged greater than or equal to 16 as denominator. Crude and age-specific prevalence rates were calculated as number of cases/1000 inhabitants. Results. We identified 695 cases of RA. Sex-specific and overall prevalence rates (per 1000) were 1.97 (95% CI 1.8-2) for all, 0.6 (95% CI 0.49-0.73) for men, 3.2 (95% CI 2.9-3.5) for women. Conclusion. Prevalence of RA is low in residents of Tucuman, Argentina, and comparable with rates observed in epidemiological surveys from Southern European countries.
